At the same time, in another courtyard of the Pang Residence, Pang Tong was calmly pruning the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Although Pang Tong was extremely ugly, he was actually a lover of flowers. This was quite ironic. While Pang Tong was pruning the flowers, there was an eight-chi tall man beside him. He was tanned just like Pang Tong. The Jianghuai region was supposed to have a rainy season, and the sunlight was hard to reach. However, there were people like Pang Tong who were naturally tanned.
"Military Advisor, staying in this broken courtyard for so long has made this Old Zhang's mouth dry!" The burly man beside Pang Tong grumbled.
"Your mouth is light. Get the kitchen to prepare some meat for you in the afternoon to nourish your body!" Pang Tong replied to the burly man.
"Military Advisor, the meat that your family's chef makes is not good. Wild game should be cooked on the spot and roasted on the stove. That's the best way!" The burly man continued to grumble. To be able to call himself Old Zhang and address Pang Tong as Military Advisor, who else could he be but Liu Bei's subordinate, Zhang San?
This Zhang Fei was once a butcher. He naturally knew which part of the game tasted good and which part was the best.
"Oh! Cooking on the spot! " Pang Tong pretended to be surprised, but in reality, he did not even raise his head. "Men!" “
"Second Young Master!" A servant walked in and greeted Pang Tong respectfully. "Second Young Master, what orders do you have?"
"Go and get some money from my room. Send someone to the market and bring back some wild game. Remember, don't eat dead meat. I want to eat fresh meat! "
"Yes!" The servant immediately left. Pang Tong was already home. How could he ask Pang Tong to pay for some wild game? Naturally, the Pang family would pay for it.
"Wait, wait! I don't want to eat any wild game! You can leave! " When Zhang Fei heard Pang Tong's reply, his mood was immediately dampened. He snorted and thought that this military advisor was smart. How could he not see through this Old Zhang's thoughts? Disappointing, disappointing.
"Hehe!" Pang Tong was so close to Zhang Fei, so how could he not hear Zhang Fei's groan? Zhang Fei must have been bored after staying in the courtyard for too long and wanted to go out to play. If you want to go out, just say so. Why do you have to play with Pang Tong? Do you really think that Pang Tong doesn't know what Zhang Fei wants?
"Military Advisor, I can't hold it in any longer. I'm going out for a walk. If this goes on, I'm going to fall sick!" Zhang Fei stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
"Third General, where are you going?" Pang Tong raised his head and asked Zhang Fei.
"I'm just going out for a walk in the market!" Ever since he arrived in Jingzhou, he had been staying in the Pang Clan and was about to suffocate Zhang Fei to death. Do you think Zhang Fei can endure it?
"Come back!" Pang Tong refused without hesitation. Zhang Fei was sent by Liu Bei to protect Pang Tong. It was also Pang Tong who requested this from Liu Bei to prevent any changes in Jingzhou. Therefore, Pang Tong had to keep Zhang Fei in his hands. Zhang Fei was a troublemaker. Pang Tong didn't want to clean up Zhang Fei's mess on a diplomatic trip to Jingzhou. Furthermore, he had important matters to attend to. How could he do it without Zhang Fei?
"Hmph!" Pang Tong called for Zhang Fei to come back, but Zhang Fei ignored him. You dark-skinned fatty, Third Master Zhang would ignore you. Zhang Fei was quite courageous. He dared to call Third Master Zhang a dark-skinned fatty.
Pang Tong spoke again when he saw that Zhang Fei was still walking out of the courtyard. This time, Zhang Fei actually paid attention to Pang Tong. "Third General, are you trying to get the Lord to ban alcohol when we return?"
"Eh!" Zhang Fei, who was just about to step out of the door, stopped abruptly. He turned his head to look at the dark-skinned fatty in front of him. His heart was filled with anger and frustration. His eyes, which were as big as copper bells, were filled with hidden bitterness. It was simply terrifying.
Alcohol ban! This was Pang Tong's trump card. It was also a sword that Liu Bei gave to Pang Tong. Zhang Fei had been fond of alcohol for a long time. If he didn't drink at least ten catties a day without anyone watching over him, he wouldn't be satisfied. Fortunately, the alcohol in ancient times was the kind of rice wine that had not been purified. The alcohol content was about the same as modern beer. Even if he drank ten catties, he wouldn't die.
Similarly, this wasn't the first or second time that Zhang Fei had messed up matters when he was drunk. The lighter incident was when he scolded the officers and soldiers. The more serious incident was when he lost Xu Province. Xu Province was taken by Lü Bu. Most of the credit should go to General Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei, in order to obtain the recognition of the imperial court and to obtain a legitimate position as the Prefecture Overseer of Xu Province, obeyed Lao Cao's order and dispatched troops to attack Yuan Shu, who had already proclaimed himself Emperor at that time. He brought Guan Yu and Zhao Yun with him and left Zhang Fei to guard Xiapi. He even gave Zhang Fei three rules. Unfortunately, Third Master Zhang lost Xiapi in a drunken stupor. Whipping Cao Bao and beating Lü Bu's father-in-law, wasn't this the same as abandoning Xiapi?
Chen Gong's scheming and Third Master Zhang's support, this time, Lü Bu's meat was delivered to his mouth. If Lü Bu didn't eat Lü Bu, he would be letting Zhang Fei down.
Zhang Fei's drinking had messed up matters. Liu Bei had long wanted to issue a ban on alcohol. However, considering Zhang Fei's deceitful attitude and the fact that Zhang Fei had already controlled his drinking capacity, he stopped issuing the ban. This time, if Zhang Fei was still muddle-headed, Liu Bei had already made it clear that if he didn't listen to the military advisor, he would immediately issue a ban on alcohol. If the ban was issued, Zhang Fei might as well be killed.
"Military advisor, military advisor, look at me. I'm a hooligan. I'm just messing around with you!" Zhang Fei hurriedly said to Pang Tong with a smiling face.
"Hehe, it's fine, it's fine! It's reasonable for the Third General to be bored and make a few jokes in his room! "The two black men looked at each other and smiled.
Just as Zhang Fei continued to sit at the side and watch the other black man work on his boring plants, a sound suddenly came from outside the Pang Residence's courtyard.
"Eh?!" Zhang Fei stood up abruptly. Zhang Fei was a refined God ranked general. His hearing was extremely good. Even the slightest movement couldn't escape his ears. "Who is it?!"
Zhang Fei walked to Pang Tong's side and looked around vigilantly. He, Zhang Fei, had promised his elder brother to protect this black fatty.
Compared to Zhang Fei's vigilance, Pang Tong's originally indifferent face had a trace of joy. "You're back?!"
Two figures quickly jumped into the courtyard and cupped their fists towards Pang Tong. "Your subordinates were fortunate enough to not disappoint you. The mission has been successfully completed!" If one looked closely at the two black figures, one would realize that they were He Feng and Cao Zhi, who were sent out by Pang Tong.
"This is a token." The two half-knelt in front of Pang Tong. He Feng stepped forward and handed over a small jade flute.
Seeing the small jade flute in front of him, he knew that his plan was a success. That's right, this small jade flute was indeed the most important item that Tang Yun carried with him when he came to Yangzhou. This small jade flute also contained a friendship. The friendship between Pang Shanmin and Tang Yun was engraved on this small jade flute. It could be said that this small jade flute was the proof of the friendship between Tang Yun and Pang Shanmin.
Unless Tang Yun took off his clothes, it was impossible for him to leave this small jade flute behind. Now that these two people had given this small jade flute to Pang Tong, it meant that Tang Yun was no longer in this world.
"Good, good, good!" Pang Tong said 'good' three times in a row. Tang Yun, Tang Qishan. Although he was his elder brother, he was also a stumbling block for his lord, Liu Bei. If Tang Qishan really went to Yangzhou and joined Liu Mang's army, then Liu Biao and Liu Mang would not go to war. If they did not go to war, then what value did Pang Tong have? Therefore, no matter what, Tang Yun had to die!
"The two of you can be considered to have done a great service for our lord. If the false king Liu Mang goes to war with Jing Province, then you will definitely be rewarded!"
Hearing Pang Tong's praise, He Feng and Cao Zhi smiled. They quickly cupped their fists and said, "This is what we should do!"
"Good, good!" Pang Tong looked at the small jade flute in his hand and walked behind He Feng and Cao Zhi. They were Liu Bei's intelligence personnel and Pang Tong was the commander of this intelligence team. Therefore, Pang Tong had a lot of prestige. If Pang Tong did not speak, they would not dare to stand up. Pang Tong gently patted He Feng's shoulder. He Feng was very excited. They were both intelligence personnel and assassins. They hid behind the scenes and hid in the dark. To be appreciated by their superiors was the dream of assassins like them! This merit would allow them to change their appearances and walk in front of others again. They could even be bestowed with titles and become real officials.
The ancient people had a deep-rooted belief in being an official. It had not changed for thousands of years. There were imperial examinations in ancient times, and it could be seen from the national examination that was first held.
However, before He Feng could finish dreaming about his beautiful life, his pupils suddenly dilated and his face began to distort.
"Ahhhhh!" Cao Zhi screamed from the side.
He Feng's arm pressed down on his neck, and a gurgling sound came from his neck. Even though he was using his arm to press down on the red trickle, it still couldn't stop his movements. "Why, why?!" He Feng stared at Pang Tong in disbelief.
The sharp dagger in Pang Tong's hand was stained with blood. The blood belonged to He Feng.
"Brother Qishan may have blocked our lord's path, but he is still my brother!" Pang Tong calmly wiped the dagger clean. It was as if the dagger in He Feng's neck was not Pang Tong.
"Haha, haha!" He Feng's face began to turn pale. He smiled bitterly and coughed every time he moved. The angle of Pang Tong's stab was very tricky. Scholars at this time weren't the weak scholars of the Qing Dynasty. People like Chen Deng and Xu Shu were able to fight on the battlefield. Although Pang Tong wasn't very good at killing, he still dared to fight with the army. If he didn't know how to kill, he would have already died in the army. The dagger went into the main artery. It would be hard to save it in the modern era, let alone in this era.
He Feng still wanted to struggle, but Pang Tong's words made him give up.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your family. You will also die honorably in battle! If our lord succeeds, you will have a place in the family! "Pang Tong gently stroked He Feng's back and whispered.
"In that case, in that case, please!" He Feng's face showed a trace of struggle. In the face of family and resistance, He Feng still chose his family. Perhaps he would be silenced, but in any case, his merits would be preserved. If he resisted, although he might hurt Pang Tong, the final outcome was that his family would be reunited in the underworld. With that thought in mind, He Feng stopped thinking about anything else. The pain of having his main artery pierced was unbearable. He Feng panted heavily, hoping to get air into his throat and into his lungs, but it was all in vain. He Feng couldn't stand the pain anymore, so he stopped covering the wound. Soon, his face turned pale from the excessive blood loss. He closed his eyes and fell to the ground. Although it was a painful way to die, He Feng's face was one of relief.
"Ahhh!" Seeing He Feng being killed by Pang Tong, Cao Zhi was so scared that he quickly ran to the side. He dared not attack Pang Tong. If he attacked Pang Tong, he would not be able to protect his family members. Therefore, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Military Counselor, Military Counselor, we've worked so hard for so many years from Youzhou Province to Qingzhou Province to Xuzhou Province. Even if we didn't make meritorious deeds, we've worked hard for you. Military Counselor, please spare me, spare me!" Cao Zhi kowtowed on the ground until his forehead was bleeding. His flesh and blood mixed together. It looked painful, but Cao Zhi still kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Sigh!" Cao Zhi was right. Cao Zhi and He Feng had done a lot for Liu Bei and Pang Tong. They had also contributed a lot in terms of intelligence. "Choose to kill yourself. That way, you can die more comfortably!" Although Tang Yun was killed by Pang Tong's men, Pang Tong had no choice but to kill these two men to silence them. This wasn't because he wanted to avenge Tang Yun, but because of his brother Pang Shanmin. Pang Tong knew the relationship between Tang Yun and Pang Shanmin.
Pang Tong didn't want to fall out with his brother Pang Shanmin because of Tang Yun. Therefore, the two of them had to disappear. Pang Tong was not a person who would leave behind any loopholes. If the two of them were allowed to escape, not to mention whether they were willing or not, there would be a huge problem. What if the two of them were caught or if other reasons were leaked? Therefore, the best way was to make them shut their mouths forever, unable to open their mouths.
"Pang Tong, you are so vicious!" Cao Zhi looked at Pang Tong's expression and knew that begging for mercy was futile. Therefore, he looked at Pang Tong with hatred.
Pang Tong did not say anything and only looked at Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi did not hesitate to turn around and escape. He did not dare to hurt Pang Tong, but he could not stop him from leaving. At most, he would bring his family back to Yuzhou and escape.
"You want to leave?! Leave your life before you leave! " Pang Tong said coldly. Cao Zhi would not go back on his words because he did not have time. Without hesitation, he crossed the courtyard and was about to take out the Pang family. As soon as he left Jingzhou, he would bring his family and escape.
However, someone was faster than him. This person was as fast as a black whirlwind. It was Zhang San Ye!
Zhang Fei was like a mountain blocking Cao Zhi's path of escape.
"Third General! Get out of my way! " Cao Zhi was shocked. However, he immediately revealed a sinister expression.
"Although I do not know why the military advisor wants to kill you, the military advisor's words are my elder brother's words. My elder brother's words are my words! Therefore, you should stay here obediently! " “
"Get out of my way!" Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and waved the dagger in his hand at Zhang Fei. Every assassin had a weapon on them. Although Zhang Fei was strong, he was unarmed. Therefore, Cao Zhi dared to wave his weapon at Zhang Fei.
However, it was obvious that he was going to be disappointed. Even if Zhang Fei was unarmed, Cao Zhi could not afford to offend him. Zhang Fei directly grabbed Cao Zhi's arms.
"What?!" Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment before he let out a blood-curdling scream. Zhang Fei folded Cao Zhi's arms as if they were fried dough twists. His broken arms and bones were exposed. His entire arm was completely torn apart.
Zhang Fei also took Cao Zhi's dagger and played with it for a while. "This dagger is not bad!" A cold light flashed and the dagger directly penetrated Cao Zhi's body. It pierced through the left side of Cao Zhi's heart.
"I, I, I …" Before Cao Zhi could say anything, his vision turned black and he stopped breathing.
"Take care of them!" Pang Tong did not even look at the two corpses on the ground. To him, the two people on the ground were just two worthless trash. Soon, Pang Tong's men brought the two corpses out to deal with them.
"Men, help me bathe and change my clothes!" Pang Tong's body reeked of blood.
"Tsk, troublesome!" Zhang Fei watched as Pang Tong went to bathe. It was just a little blood. Was there a need to go to so much trouble?
If Zhang Fei was in Yuzhou, Pang Tong would not care. However, this was Jingzhou. Furthermore, Pang Tong needed to meet someone later.
Sure enough, the Pang family's housekeeper came to report that outside the Pang family's house, Jing Province's Liu Biao had sent troops to escort Pang Tong to the governor's mansion.
